While the political ramifications of Trump's clemency spree reverberated throughout Washington on Tuesday, criminal justice reform advocates urged Trump not to forget those without political connections. 

"We hope to see him use this executive power to grant more commutations and clemencies in due course for any of the thousands of deserving individuals who are neither rich, nor famous, nor connected," said Holly Harris, president and executive director of the bipartisan Justice Action Network. "They are the forgotten majority of the country’s crisis in mass incarceration, a crisis the disproportionately impacts lower income communities and communities of color, and they are every bit as deserving of a second chance."
